The military of the Ming Dynasty is heavy on nine sides. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The civilian ruling class has never dared to relax its grip on these 'mud-legged' generals.

And their means of controlling the generals are also very direct, to put it simply, there are two points, one is the money bag, and the other is the official hat.

In addition, the local civil ministers and prison troops in the nine sides, including the eunuch supervision army, before the middle and late Ming Dynasty, to be precise, should be before the middle and early Chongzhen periods, these control methods were still quite effective.

Personnel transfers and promotions among generals, including their own sons, nephews, concubines, etc., if they want to eat the emperor's food and enjoy the shadow of their fathers, they must first go through these civil officials to nod.

Therefore, even if Li Chengliang had 8,000 families back then, and the leaders of the surrounding tribes came to him as sons and grandsons, he could integrate 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of combat power casually, but he still didn't dare to covet too much of the imperial court.

But ~~, time is like water, things flow, and in the later years of Wanli, after the rise of the Jurchens in the Northeast, especially after Sun Chengzong established the Liaoxi Military Group, the situation has begun to undergo subtle changes.

Seems to be at this time.

In western Liaoning, the transfer of generals at some levels is still frequent, but such as the ancestral family and the Wu family, including Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui, have changed at the root.

Not to mention, Dongjiang in Liaodong, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong in Liaonan.

To put it more bluntly, it's okay for your court to issue an order, but it depends on what kind of heat it is.

If the heat is docile, you and I can accept it, then everything is negotiable.

But ~~~, once either side touches the bottom line first, then ~~~~, this matter will not end well.

At this time, whether it is the imperial court, or Liaoxi, Liaonan, and Liaodong, all parties involved are well aware.

But no one will pick things out at such a time and at such a juncture.

At this time, Yang Guozhu took the initiative to show goodwill, and Li Yuanqing certainly understood his thoughts.

Although Xuanfu Town is also a land of nine sides, adjacent to the Mongolian Tartars, it is not without opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but ~~, it is not good to say, they want to make meritorious contributions, whether it is a battle formation, or gold content, how can it be compared with Liaodi?

Not to mention, the risks.

To put it more bluntly, his brother and nephew of Yang Guozhu want to be promoted, and the best way at this time is to go to Liaodi to 'gild' first.

And if you want to gild in Liaodi, if you don't go to Li Yuanqing's immortal camp in the world, do you want to go to Liaoxi to make a living?

The sedan chair carries people.

Connections, in China, both at this time and in future generations, are the most valuable resources.

In the face of Yang Guozhu's initiative to show goodwill, how could Li Yuanqing not accept it?

Soon, a few little eunuchs came here with six or seven food boxes, and took out buns, meat cakes, porridge, and a lot of boiled eggs, bacon jerky, pastries, and the like.

Li Yuanqing didn't need to speak, and these little eunuchs quickly presented meals to everyone one by one according to their identities and positions.

At this point, everyone is hungry, so naturally they won't be too polite.

But before eating, everyone who understands will look at Li Yuanqing with gratitude and communicate with Li Yuanqing with their eyes.

Li Yuanqing responded one by one with a smile, nodded his head, and everyone knew each other.

Of course, it's not without incomprehension.

A guerrilla in Yansui Town, probably in his early twenties, was obviously the first time he entered Beijing, and he hurriedly whispered to a general beside him: "Third brother, this, this palace is still in charge of food?" Is there such a good thing? Looks like this little bun isn't bad! ”

His third brother couldn't help but glared at him viciously, "Shut your dog's mouth!" Eat your meal. If you dare to say more than half a word, go back and break your dog's legs! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yuanqing gratefully.

Li Yuanqing smiled slightly and nodded lightly in response.

"This, this ......"

This guerrilla still doesn't understand, why~~, his third brother would scold him like this.

But on weekdays, the power of his third brother is too great, and he will never dare to say more at this time, so he can only wait for the reward to be completed, and then go back and ask the third brother.

After a simple breakfast, a few little eunuchs quickly cleaned up the place, and they didn't even dare to have any noodles left.

Li Yuanqing invited the generals to have breakfast here, the matter seems to be very inconspicuous, but this is the first time in more than 200 years of the dynasty!

This......

If you are picked by a big guy, this is not a joke!

After resting for a while, news finally came from the direction of the main hall, and the emperor announced that Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Chen Jisheng would meet him!

Soon, under the guidance of the little eunuch, Li Yuanqing and the others, in accordance with the rules, came to the main hall in an orderly manner, and according to the guidance, respectfully kowtowed several times, and then came to the hall and knelt.

On both sides are endless bright red official robes and boots, which makes people a little dazzled.

At this kind of moment, without the call from above, Li Yuanqing didn't dare to look up and look around, doing taboo things, he could only look at his nose and his heart, and silently counted the sheep.

Soon, after the eunuch's sharp voice and a dull and long reading, Mao Wenlong's reward took the lead.

Not surprisingly, Mao Wenlong's rank was slightly increased by half a level, from the prince's young master, to the prince's young master, and he was given Shang Fang's sword to supervise the military affairs of Liaozhen.

Mao Wenlong was very emotional, respectfully kowtowed and thanked him, and tears welled up in his old eyes.

Next, it was Li Yuanqing's turn.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said: "Li Junmen, you did a good job in this battle of southern Liaoning, very good." What a joy! ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said respectfully: "All this is thanks to the emperor's blessings, and the ministers and sons were able to avoid the flood." My emperor's holy grace shines, like the sun and moon in the sky, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

At this time, Li Yuanqing already has the capital to call himself a 'minister', and he can barely be regarded as finally 'entering the stream'.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing's sycophant is a little naked~ naked, but the battle record is here, and the little emperor of the Apocalypse is also more and more happy.

At this time, of course, he understood that without Li Yuanqing's strong containment skills, Mao Wenlong's side would not have been able to achieve such a result, and it was even likely to fall on his heels.

"Hahaha! Li Junmen, you have made so many contributions to me, you say, how should I reward you? ”

The little emperor of the apocalypse said, looking at Li Yuanqing with a smile, although his gaze was soft, but in it, there was a hint of royal sharpness.

Li Yuanqing didn't expect that the little emperor of the Apocalypse would 'test' him on such an occasion, and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

After a while, Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Serve the emperor and share the worries of the court, the ministers dare not ask for too many rewards." ”

But there was a pause.

Li Yuanqing said again: "However, Your Majesty, when it comes to rewards, the minister really has a small request. When the minister is old and cannot join the army, the emperor can reward the minister with a large mansion in Beijing, and it is best to have mountains and rivers, so that the minister can always accompany His Majesty. Daily fishing, cuddling rabbits and the like. Of course, if His Majesty can reward his ministers with ten or eight beautiful palace maids, it would be the best. ”

"Vulgar!"

"Li Yuanqing, what kind of place are you? How dare you make such a big statement? Yes? ”

"Li Junmen, this is the court, please pay attention to your speech."

"Li ......"

There was a sudden noise of accusations around him.

But Li Yuanqing knelt on the ground, and he couldn't raise his head, and he couldn't tell for a moment who dared to jump out and accuse him.

"Silence, silence!"

In front of Wei Zhongxian, a big eunuch in his early thirties hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice.

The court suddenly fell silent.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse laughed: "Li Junmen, what you said is a little more vulgar." However, I know that you do not read much, so I will pardon you for your innocence! There's an old saying, how do you say it? It's not rough! Li Junmen, today, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, in front of my companions, I can make an oath to you. One day, as long as you can set foot on Dongnu, I will agree to all your conditions! And I'll give you more money than you can spend in your life! ”

There was a low sigh from the officials around him.

I have long known that Li Yuanqing's holy family is rich, but I never expected that Li Yuanqing's holy family would be so rich!

The emperor actually made an oath to Li Yuanqing in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, this, this is simply ......

How dare Li Yuanqing slack off? Busy kowtowing respectfully and said: "My emperor is the emperor of the ages, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The little emperor of the Apocalypse laughed, "Reward it!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the dreary and long text reading began again.

Li Yuanqing maintained enough respect on his face, but he was a little disapprehensive in his heart.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse, after all, is still young!

Although this method shows his rising imperial heart, unfortunately, for Li Yuanqing, it does not have too many substantial benefits.

In this way, I want Li Yuanqing to die to the ground, and Li Yuanqing is not one of those literati who has been brainwashed since childhood, how can he be at the mercy of the imperial court?

Soon, with the eunuch's sharp reading, Li Yuanqing also heard his reward clearly.

Not much off from what was expected.

Li Yuanqing was promoted to the right governor in the ranks, and was given a gold medal order and arrows, although Li Yuanqing was not crowned as the chief military officer of Liaonan Town, but at the end of the reading, a clause was added, 'Control the war in southern Liaoning!' ’

This means that Li Yuanqing has the actual right to control the war in the entire southern Liaoning in terms of law, including Chen Zhong's Guanglu Island, the entire Siwei in southern Liaoning, and even, Lushun, which is subordinate to Dongjiang and Shen Shikui.

Although these things have basically been under Li Yuanqing's control for a long time, at this time, Li Yuanqing is also very excited to be able to clarify all this from the legal and general righteousness, and is busy kowtowing respectfully to thank him.

Next, it is Chen Zhong and Chen Jisheng's reward.

As expected, Chen Zhong was promoted to the governor of the capital, and Chen Jisheng was also promoted to the governor with the rank of deputy general, which was an exceptional promotion.

Both of them thanked the little emperor of the apocalypse, and the little emperor of the apocalypse stood up in person, walked here, and Wen Yan encouraged Li Yuanqing and everyone a few words, which drew a perfect end to this reward.

…………

Walking out of the main hall and crossing the white jade bridge, everyone was very excited.

Especially Chen Jisheng, who has been grinning since he left the palace gate, has been a little difficult to close until now.

Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have already received more rewards in this regard, so naturally they will not be as exaggerated as Chen Jisheng.

Mao Wenlong smiled: "Yuanqing, when are you going to go back to southern Liaoning?" What are your plans for what's next? ”

Of course, Li Yuanqing understood that Mao Wenlong wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continue to launch an offensive against Houjin.

But Li Yuanqing also understood better, at this time, in such a state, whether it is Liaodong or Liaonan, it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers easily, there is not enough rest and recuperation, if the food and salary allocation of the imperial court next year is not in place, there is really a big war, it will be embarrassing.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Marshal, it's not too late for us to go back to Liaodi to discuss this matter." The sweet potatoes on the island are almost ripe. Judging by the appearance, this year's harvest should be not bad. Dashuai, if you have time, don't take precautions, you can go to Changsheng Island to have a look, let's taste the taste of this fresh sweet potato together. ”

"Sweet potato?"

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but be stunned, "Yuanqing, this, what is this?" ”
